873896 ÷ 52 
We want to figure out the number of times 873896 can be divided by 52.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 52, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 52

Step 2:
If we divide 87 by 52, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 52 from 87 to get 35.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 353 / 52

Step 3:
When dividing 353 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 41.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 312 from 353 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 52

On to step 4:
52 can be fit into 418 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
Subtract 416 from 418 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1680.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 52

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 296 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16805.0
Deduct 260 from 296 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
52 goes into 360 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16805.6
If we take 312 away from 360, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
480 divided by 52 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16805.69
Deduct 468 from 480 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 120 by 52, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16805.692
Subtracting 104 from 120 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 52 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16805.6923
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
52 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16805.6923
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 52, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16805.692307
Deduct 364 from 400 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 52, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16805.6923076
If we subtract 312 from 360, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 52 fits into 480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16805.69230769
If we subtract 468 from 480, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16805.69230769 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
